12. Closing the Form Code To write the code that will close the form, first add a button to the form named “Close”. Then double click on the button and add the code below.

13. Transferring Data between forms Send data via constructor. Constructor

14. Example Add a new ListView to frmMain.

15. ListView Properties

16. Adding Columns to ListView

18. Working with data Operations: Add/Delete/Modify We will need to create a new form for addition and modification operations. Deletion operation will delete selected record.

19. Add/Delete Data To perform deletion and modification operations, first we add two new buttons to the form and assigning appropriate properties.

20. Add new record To transfer data, first define a “struct” named Uye.

21. Add/Modify Form Create a new form named “frmKayitEkleDuzelt” to perform add and modify operations. Add three textboxes and labels, one OK and one Cancel buttons to the form.

22. Displaying records in add/modify form Get data in Uye structure via constructor and assign to the controls. Assign Operation

23. OK and Cancel Buttons How can we understand that user pressed OK or Cancel buttons? How to send data back?

24. Solution First, define a global Uye structure.

25. Solution - Continues Double click to OK and Cancel buttons, add following codes to handler functions. Structure to be returned.

26. Solution - Continues Create a public function on “ frmKayitEkleDuzelt ” form. This function will return the global struct m_Uye which is created by OK button click. Code that will return structure.

27. Main form- Add To add a new record, add following code to the handler function of the Ekle button Empty Uye struct Adding record form If OK button is pressed Add new element to listview

28. Main form - Modify To modify a record let’s create a handler function to double click event of the listview. When a row is double clicked, we will open it to be edited. To achieve this, create a event handler function for double click event of listview.

29. Main form - Modify Add following code to handler function. Record to be modified If OK button is pressed At least one row is selected. Selected element Modify record

30. Main form - Delete To delete selected row, create a handler function for Sil button.

31. Main form - Delete Add following code to handler function. At least one element is selected If user is sure of what she is doing Remove selected element from listview

32. Main Menu Main menu is the control that resides upper section of the form. It provides easy access for frequently used operations.

33. Adding Main Menu MainMenu is added to the form by dragging and dropping from.

34. Adding new element to the Main Menu To add new items to the MainMenu, just type the name of the element to the areas written “ Type Here ” in the MainMenu.

35. Making menu element operational Just double click on the menu element to create handler function to their default events. You may enter whatever code you wanted to the handler function.

36. Writing to a file In C# language System.IO namespace is used for file operations. To enable Turkish language support, it is suggested to use “StreamWriter” class. To get file name to be written from user, you may use SaveFileDialog class.

37. Example Add following code to the click event handler function of the MainMenu element named “Save”.

38. SaveFileDialog SaveFileDialog used used for asking to user which file will be selected for write operation. Create SaveFileDialog object Filter definition Show dialog box and decide whether OK button is pressed.

39. StreamWriter This object is used for writing to a file. Its constructor accepts two arguments, one for file name to be written, one for “ encoding ” which decides code page. WriteLine function write data to the file. Create StreamWriter object Add Turkish support Write a line to the file Create special formatted strings Get data from listview

40. Try the program – New record

42. Try the program – Modify a record

44. Try the program – Saving to a file

47. Read from file As in writing file, System.IO name space includes classes which are used fro reading from a file. Use “StreamReader” class for Turkish language support. Use OpenFileDialog class to ask user which file is meant to be read.

48. Example Add following code to the click event handler function of the “Read from file” menu item.

49. OpenFileDialog OpenFileDialog is used for selecting the file name to be opened for reading. Show dialog box and decide whether OK button is pressed. Define filter Create OpenFileDialog object

50. StreamReader This is the object that reads from a file. Its constructor accepts two arguments, one for file name to be read, one for “ encoding ” which decides code page. ReadLine function reads one line from file. Create StreamReader Read a line from file Add read data to the listview Read with Turkish support

51. Try the program – Read from a file
